Chapter 5007

The patrol officer’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he quickly retreated, clearly fearful of the Mohist spear.

Seeing this, Kai immediately swung his sword, aiming to strike while the patrol officer was still hesitant.

“One sword to decide the outcome…”

As he attacked, the Dragon Slaying Sword erupted with sword energy, transforming into a golden dragon wreathed in flames, roaring as it charged toward the patrol officer.

The enemy was too powerful, so Kai used his strongest technique.

In this strike, he channeled not only his immortal power but also the power of the dragon, the origin of fire, and various other forces—fusing them into one devastating blow.

He hoped to end the patrol officer with this single sword.

Sensing the overwhelming power in the attack, the patrol officer’s expression changed dramatically—there was no longer any contempt in his eyes.

But by now, he had no way to dodge. The sword was too fast, and the timing too perfect.

The patrol officer roared in rage, crossed his fists, and slammed them forward!

Both fists struck out simultaneously, summoning the full strength of his life force. The entire void twisted from the impact.

Boom!

With a deafening sound, Kai was blasted backward in an instant.

But the patrol officer didn’t escape unscathed—his arms were shattered by the sword strike.

Now armless, the patrol officer knew he could no longer continue the fight, and turned to flee.

But the girl in white was already there, her spear pointed directly at him.

A wave of purple light engulfed the patrol officer’s entire body!

Gritting his teeth, the patrol officer’s soul fled from his body just as it exploded under the purple glow.

“The Mo family’s spear truly lives up to its name,” the patrol officer’s soul muttered as it tried to escape.

“Still trying to run?” the girl in white said coldly, raising her spear to pursue.

But just then, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

They were members of the Eight Palaces, intercepting the patrol officer’s escaping soul.

At the same time, the ground trembled—the previously scattered soldiers of Feihu City had returned!

Xie Zhong was among them. He had no choice but to come back, as Huo Zhao was personally overseeing the battle from behind. Xie Zhong wouldn’t dare disobey.

Seeing this, the girl in white stopped her pursuit and reached out to help Kai up.

Kai’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and his breathing was labored.

The battle had drained a significant amount of his energy.

Had the girl in white not appeared, Kai wouldn’t have been able to handle the patrol envoy from the temple. He would’ve been forced to let the Red Cloud Demon Lord take control.

As the members of the Eighth Palace arrived, the patrol envoy’s expression grew calm again.

Even though his physical body was destroyed, as long as his soul remained intact, he could rebuild it—it would just take time.

“Patrol envoy…” Huo Zhao stepped forward with extreme respect.

These patrol envoys were like enforcers of the entire temple, specifically responsible for inspecting each branch hall—akin to a disciplinary inspection force.

The patrol envoy’s gaze turned icy as he glared at Huo Zhao. “Have someone kill them. You escort me back to the palace. I need to rebuild my body.”

“Yes, sir!” Huo Zhao nodded, then turned to Jie Zhong. “Everyone, move! If anyone lets the targets escape, their soul will be destroyed!”

Hearing this, Jie Zhong gave the order reluctantly, “Kill!”

The remaining soldiers of Feihu City all charged toward Kai and the girl in white.

A large crowd, facing only two people.

At this moment, Jie Zhong didn’t dare to hold back at all.

Huo Zhao gave Kai a conflicted glance, then quickly left with the patrol envoy’s soul under his protection.

If the patrol envoy suffered further harm in his territory, Huo Zhao, as the Eighth Palace Master, would face serious consequences.

Kai frowned as he watched the large group of enemies rushing toward them.

“What are you thinking about?” asked the girl in white.

“I’m wondering if I should run…” Kai replied.

“What’s your decision?” she asked with a smile.

“Run…”

And with that, Kai turned and bolted.
